Getting that Spark Back

Remember how I was putting that 

Spark back in my home?

 If you don't remember the before picture
here is the picture to remind you.

   So I have spent the last week really going through my stuff. Asking myself "Does this item bring some kind of joy to my life?" If the answer was NO. Then I gave it away or tossed it out. At first I tried re-homing my stuff. I did have some luck in people coming and picking things up from what we call "curb alerts" in our community. That is when we sit out unwanted items for people to pick up if they have some kind of interest. I think people lost momentum or just did not want to take my junk. Granted there was nothing wrong with everything. But maybe they knew it would not bring any joy to them as well. Needless to say, I had to toss the rest because I could not keep it outside any longer. The homeowners association can be so darn picky sometimes. 

Putting that spark back into my home

Clutter Clutter Clutter
Do NOT judge me

If it doesn't bring you joy, get rid of it
Time to spark some joy!!!!!

   I am forever drowning in clutter. For such a big home. And when I say a big home we have a 7 bedroom, 4 bath home. But like I was saying. For such a big home, we don't have a lot of storage space. So I forever feel like I am drowning in stuff and clutter. It makes me depressed. It makes me not want to do anything. It makes me not care anymore. And that makes me sad. Because the joy that I should have to be in my happy and pretty somewhat organized clean home is not there. I feel like I am constantly battling the clutter. Always trying to find a place for things. And somehow when I find a place for it, it somehow manages its way back out of that place I found for it.
